Nothing bothers me as much as miscarriage of justice, whether individual cases of wrongful conviction, or macro-level policies that favor the wealthy and discriminate against the poor. My passion for promoting social justice and advocating for the welfare of all persons—especially the disenfranchised—has led me to seek out opportunities where I can help in whatever way possible. As a student in high school, I have spent almost all of my free time learning about and participating in community initiatives that promote social justice and welfare. I have tirelessly volunteered for a number of community service organizations focusing on different initiatives, and have seen how nonprofits operate by collaborating with the public and private sector. In addition to my volunteer work, I have worked part-time as an intern with the DC Superior Court working in the Magistrate Judges\' Chambers. I was drawn to this internship because I wanted to ascertain whether or not I might be suitable to a career in law. Given my passion for social justice, it was not surprising that I thrived while working at the courts and envision a strong future for myself as a legal advocate or human rights lawyer.

Advocates like me give a voice to the voiceless, and empower the powerless. The enthusiasm of youth means that I am not fully certain which area I may choose to focus on in my graduate and post-graduate career. So far, my volunteer work has opened my eyes to the tremendous need for improving services for the homeless and disabled populations. I am lucky enough to have attended a rigorous all-girls’ Catholic School that inculcated in us students the responsibility of being a conscientious citizen whose life is made more meaningful through service. As I embark on my undergraduate career, I intend to learn all I can about the political and social institutions and structures that I may be able to change or influence as an advocate or lawyer.
